Fridays in France: Walk Abouts

Fitness, keeping my clothes fitting well, feeling good, staying healthy - all reasons why I love to walk. Living in Miami-Dade, Florida, walking is not the most practical ways of transportation. In Paris, France, however...walking is a way of life!

Metros, walking, etc. are how will be getting some form of exercise during my stay in France. With that in mind, I found a wonderful deck of cards at The Bookstore in the Grove called City Walks: Paris. Browsing in bookstores or libraries, like browsing LPs and later CDs, is quickly becoming a lost pleasure. How will we find treasures like this City Walk deck of cards?

The first card we are going to use is #7. My goal is to use all 50 cards. Some of the walks can be done right after another...while other routes are for enjoying the stops more than the journey. That is fine with me, because all of the museums, gardens, etc. are included the deck! Walking, exploring, pausing for drawing...AH!!!!

What treasures have you found, browsing a store? Do you believe you could have found the same as an MP3 or book download without the experience of exploration?

About Angeline

I love working as an artist. I am living my dream every chance I can grab. If have to choose between working out and creating art, well, I grab a pencil and paper and sketch while on the stationary bike. If for some reason drawing is inappropriate, a book about art makes for happiness.

Painting, art, the beach, and music are all things that drive my passion. Andy, my fiance', complains that they consume my thoughts. Mi amor, if not for you, they would! After getting the family-required education, my dream came true. I am an artist. As an artist, here is where art techniques, new paintings, stories, and art adventures are shared with you. Sometimes a few words, a video, a slideshow, some photos - but all about artful adventures. Come share with me! Here is where you can ask questions, make comments, find me on Facebook, drop by my art porfolio on my website. Welcome to my online art studio, inside and outside of it! Enjoy your visit!
